OK
Not the most popular thing but i want to hear some peoples opinions.
I have noticed a trend over the years, Paintball related companies not quite being professional.
A few examples,
You order product A and pay for it. It has a release date of X, X comes and passes and still no product. In some cases some people get it, in others no one gets it.
There seems to be a laid back feeling from most of us ballers, kinda like. It gets here when it gets here.
Thats all well and good, but its US that are losing out. The situation will never improve unless WE all stand up for ourselves.
Sites, You turn up at a site. The service you get is OK, well hang on it could be better, Hell we all pay a large amount of money to be at these events so lets stick up for ourselves.
There is a lot of talk about companies, organisers etc not making any/much money from these events. Frankly i dont believe this at all. NO ONE does stuff for free, There is always a gain to be had.
If we want our sport to progress we need to improve service and quality on and off the field. In all areas of the game.
Lets get the attitude of fly boy paintball dealers out of the system and lets see some PROFESSIONAL attitudes from them.
I am not saying all companies are this way inclined. I could name 2 or 3 off the top of my head but wont. What makes it worse is they are LARGE companies. Is it a case of being established now they have lost intrest?
But i would like to say a big thankyou to those that i know offer a great service....
Planet, Smart parts, Phoenix and just about every american company i have dealt with.
